Most Helpful Girl

Nope! I figure if a guy wants to propose, he'll do it. He doesn't need my pushing to suddenly come up with the idea. And I don't want him to ask until he's 100% ready, or else he'll get confused, feel rushed, and even if we were meant to be together - I think he might eventually resent it.

So no - definitely not! In fact, I don't think it's a good idea for the girl to mention the M-word at all in an attempt to get her guy thinking about it. The guy will come up with it on his own.

No, I wouldn't because I want the man to take the lead in courting... I suppose it comes down to wanting to feel desired and him asking me to marry him would help fulfill that need. I wouldn't even bring up marriage... my BF was the one to do it and he was the one to propose... however, that's just me. I don't see anything wrong with a girl proposing... it all depends on their relationship and their wants. I don't think there is one right way.

I think that it is still more common for the guy to propose. I am not saying whether or not I think it is one- sided or fair, I just look around and see that that is the case. I would not propose, but this is not because I see myself as a princess and the man needs to do it. I would simply be afraid of creeping him out.

Just imagine this. You and your girlfriend are walking through crowd of people, then your girlfriend suddenly stops and then gets on one knee. She pulls out a ring and yells out, "Will you marry me?". It just doesn't sound right...
